dedicated server doesn't start on my debian sarge

[Meatwad]

hello,
i just copyed the files to my root-servr which is running on debian 3.1. but when i start it, this messages appear and you can't join the server:

gameserver@wcfan:~/master/soldat$ ./soldatserver

             -= Soldat Dedicated Server 1.3.1 - BETA 2.5.1 =-

 The server must be started with an Admin Password parameter to run Admin
   edit SOLDAT.INI section [Network] Admin_Password=

Exception EAccessViolation in module soldatserver at 08059035.
Access violation at address 0807F248, accessing address 00000000.
Segmentation fault

on my fedora 5 system it works properly

please help!
thx


edit: i just discovered, that when i stop my server on the fedorasystem this message appers at last:

Exception EAccessViolation in module soldatserver at 08059035.
Access violation at address 0807F248, accessing address 00000000.

it is equal to the last message from the debiansystem, exept for the "Segmenation fault"

check your permissions on all of the files for the server, especially the log folders.  I suspect that it is failing to write the logs (did you copy the server as root and try starting it as gameserver?)

[Meatwad]

thx for your fast answer, i just edited my 1. post...maby that can help...


i just made a "chown gameserver:gameserver -R ../soldat" and a "chmod -R 777 ../soldat" ...so the folder including the files are owner of gameserver and everybody has all rights. but the message still appears. i had to create the dir ./logs by my self

[FliesLikeABrick]

ah, you probably forgot to make the "kills" folder inside "logs"

[Meatwad]

thanks, now it works. but why can't the server add the dirs by it's self? my fedorasystem can :-(? and what's about error in the last line?
is that a hardwareerror? but it's on both servers, i cant beleave that both have errors

[FliesLikeABrick]

the server doesn't make the folders itself at all, you must be dreaming   it doesn't bother since it expects that you extracted the entire server zip file, and the folders are included in it.

can you show me again which errors you're getting now that the logging one has been resolved?

[Meatwad]

these:

Exception EAccessViolation in module soldatserver at 08059035.
Access violation at address 0807F248, accessing address 00000000.

I'm not sure what is causing those.  If nobody posts here with the answer before I talk to enesce again, I'll have him take a look

I believe those are a known/fixed issue for the next version, related to the server not responding to kill signals properly, but I may be mistaken.

ok, that seems good. thanks for your help!
